Broome

After spending two nights at the Goldwire Rest Area I arrived in Broome yesterday afternoon.

Broome is not very dog friendly as none of the caravan parks allow pets, but it has worked in my favour because an area has been put aside by the council for people with pets only. It is close to everything with nice grassy areas to camp on for $35 per night which is a lot cheaper than the caravan parks.

The weather is very unseasonal at the moment with periods of rain and high humidity - 99% today.  Phew!  Luckily for me I was in the Pilbara last week and not this week, because over the past few days they have had several inches of rain and most of the roads are now closed due to severe flooding.  Unheard of at this time of the year as it is supposed to be the 'dry season'.

I have booked four nights here in Broome but will probably stay two more nights until the 30th June so that I can attend to necessary end of financial year paperwork for my super fund.

I think it will be another restless night tonight.  The rain has stopped but the humidity makes it so hard to sleep.  Even the locals are complaining.
